Pleasanton ' UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT June 12, 2025 Gerry Beaudin, City Manager City of Pleasanton 123 Main Street Pleasanton Ca 94566 Re: Partnership, Student Safety, and Crossing Guards Dear City Manager Beaudin, 925-462-5500 5758 W. Las Positas Blvd. Pleasanton, CA 94588 pleasantonusd.net On behalf of the Pleasanton Unified School District, I want to express our sincere appreciation for the City's ongoing partnership and support. Our collaboration is invaluable in advancing shared goals, and we see this letter as a purposeful gesture to deepen the collaboration between the District and the City. Safety remains a top priority. I am pleased to share that at our upcoming June 12, 2025, Board meeting, the District will propose staffing ten (10) school crossing guard locations at a cost of up to $175,000, while the City will fund the remaining twelve (12) crossing guard locations, up to a total of $500,000. This sharing of costs reflects our commitment to student safety. The District fully intends to fund our part, pending Board approval. We look forward to analyzing the performance of both our crossing guard programs this year and sharing ideas for coordinating and managing these efforts, including, but not limited to, staffing, training, and data collection. In the same spirit of shared commitment, we greatly appreciate the City's continued support of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program. The presence of SROs on our campuses is a powerful demonstration of our shared public duty to uphold a safe and welcoming school environment. The District values this partnership with the Police Department and is grateful that the City has invested in these critical roles. We look forward to working together to sustain and strengthen the SRO program, ensuring our students have the support they need. We also recognize that both the City and the District are navigating challenging budget realities. Like many public agencies, we face fiscal constraints that make it difficult to fund essential programs. Looking beyond safety and scarcity in our budgets, we want to look to the future and envision an even broader partnership with the City of Pleasanton. For instance, our land -use planning and development decisions will directly impact school enrollment and facility needs, and it is important that the District's long-range facilities planning be aligned with the City's General Plan and development goals. Thank you again for the City's partnership and support. The Pleasanton Unified School District values our strong working relationship with the City of Pleasanton. We are committed to collaborating closely with you in a spirit of partnership and optimism, always focused on serving our students and the denizens of our community.
